About Me |
|
| I welcome any collaboration with any artist that belives compromising
artistic freedom is not an option. I hit hard, play for the merit
and concept of the song and NOT for myself. I am Click friendly and have experience with most Roland/Alesis/Yamaha Electronic sound modules and as well as tech/audio experience. Playing on top of sequencing live is also alot of fun for me. I enjoy the challenge of making a programed / electronic sound feel organic and almost, human in a live situation.
When approaching a new project, I tend to dissect every small piece of every structure of a song, and the sound an artist is looking to obtain. So eventhough I am most excited to be sitting behind a kit on stage sweating it out live, I feel most ambition and creativity spawns from a writting/recording perspective in the studio. Whatever it takes to give a track a life of it's own. With over twelve years of playing live with a wide variety of artists, and touring throughout the West, I am ready for any opportunity ahead of me and prepared for any challenge by surounding myself around people who do their job and are open minded musically. Fast learner, Professional and Tour Ready! Here is a list of artists/recordings I have collaborated with and contributed to: *L I V E* Random Animus Eslum 7th Fall Scarlet Rose A Blinding Silence Shape Cycle The Ursa Mare One Life AshesDead Kill The Academy Jamie Profico Velveteen Drive Gary Mgrath Three Mile Island *O N R E C O R D* A BLINDING SILENCE "To Sleep and Dream" "A Prayer Before Dying" "My Last Goodbye" ANIMUS "Stutter" "W4" "Bumbucho" THE SHAPE CYCLE "Halo" "Insufficient" "Rip Stop" "Low Born" "Threshold Guardian" "Flavor Of Water" "Solvent" "Inure" "You Think your not for sale?" 7TH FALL "Drowning" KILL THE ACADEMY "No Control" "Wakie/Wakie" "At The Wrist" "Light the Sky" "The Taking" "The Upside In" THOUSAND YARD STARE "Dear Razor" "Tears Roll" *L I V E S E T U P* Pork Pie Percussion Black Satin Maple w/ Black Hardware *20x22 Bass Drum *9X12 Rack Tom *14X14 Floor Tom ( Hi Hat Side ) *16X16 Floor Tom *8X14 Pork Pie 12 ply Maple Snare *Drum Workshop 9000 Series Hardware *DW 5000 Delta Single pedal *Sabian AAX 19 Inch Xplosion Crash *Sabian AAX 20 Inch Stage Crash *Sabian HH 21 Inch Heavy Ride *Sabian Vault 14 Inch Hi Hats *Alesis DM Pro Sound Module *Roland PD 9 Dual Zone Pads *Tama RW105 Metronome *Sure P2R In Ear Monitors *Vater Power 5A (nylon tip) Drum Sticks *SKB Road Cases C O N T A C T KillMichaelThomas@Gmail.com www.Sharenow.com/KillMichaelThomas www.Myspace.com/KillTheAcademyrock www.Myspace.com/KillMichaelThomas Voice mail (818) 388-4278 Myspace Contact Tables |
